Urbanform, 9 months ago

I hope you’re leaving long enough between these shots for the red blood cells to accumulate! Another clever piece with a lot of impact. Well done

SolusFides, 9 months ago

commentative, contentious, and prophetic….
perfect
how would this look if the money were B&W and only the blood was left in color?

Helen Bascom KMA, 9 months ago

I’m thinking about that . . . .

collectiveone, 8 months ago

And with money you buy stuff. Baggage. Grounded. Distracted. No wonder it has become such a popular idea. Physical and mental control.
I love the blood series. Excelent works I must say!

andrea verstegen, 8 months ago

That’s what I mean Helen. Money can be used for our detriment or our salvation, and people are making the wrong choices, those in power AND those who are not. We are all to blame.

helene ruiz, 3 months ago

aint that the truth! well done !!!

Paul Scarsella, 3 months ago

excellent image and message!

amarica, 3 months ago

I’ve heard it said, “Money can’t buy you love, money can’t buy you youth, money can’t buy you friends,” but when there is no money, love gets tested to the hilt when the quarrels begin, youth quickly fades when the stress sets in and friends begin to thin when you are so busy working you don’t have time for them anymore. It is a sad state of affairs and a great paradox for me since I am a Christian and must deal with this issue constantly.
I agree with you totally and it is true that money plus blood equals oil. The oil barons rule the world…at least the secular part of it. At least they appear to. I have to keep my eyes on Christ or I will be overwhelmed by it. But when I put my eyes back on Him, I am reminded that He is still in charge and I will understand it all if not now, some day soon.

PHILLIPEDOAN, 3 months ago

ABBA SHOULD REUNITE AND DO ONE LAST DISCO BOOGIE-WOOGIE JAM, ENTITLED, “BLOOD-MONEY, MONEY, MONEY”.

Helen Bascom KMA in reply to PHILLIPEDOAN’s comment, 3 months ago

I would pay to see that show.

PHILLIPEDOAN, 3 months ago

ME TOO. I WILL MEET YOU THERE. I AM LAUGHING MY ASS OFF HELEN WITH WHAT YOU JUST WROTE. LOL.

cool concept – well captured

Leah Highland, 3 months ago

Oh man does this have so much behind it?!!!!!!!!!!
Great image Helen.
You are a true soldier for great causes.

ablyth, 3 months ago

Brilliant metaphor.

PixelProtest, 3 months ago

i love this. not pleasing but it’s a strong image. money is not the root of evil, it’s how it can be used. i am so shocked how people would desire to the point of evil, a way of thinking i can’t understand.
great work

Lindsay Berman, 2 months ago

Helen,

This photograph is AMAZING… very few pictures actually exhibit so much emotion… this one nearly made me gasp for air.

This is the first time that I’ve seen this photo, as a direct result of the post you made today regarding your RedBubble retirement. (Shame on me for not delving deeper into your entire collection sooner.)

For various reasons, you are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE artist on this site. (Largely due to the fact that we live in the same city, but also because you pour your entire soul into your work).

I, too, often become enraged in regard to racism. It is a seemingly insurmountable injustice in this country (and I suspect all over the world).

I do hope that the masterpieces that once were viewable here on this site are available elsewhere online so that I can continue to enjoy your work.

And now, more than ever, we really should have that cup of coffee we’ve been talking about…

Brilliant!, strong message. NO WAR EVER! Western leaders are weapons of mass destruction.

Helen Bascom KMA in reply to Perspective’s comment, about 1 month ago

Pop me an email at hmbascom@hotmail.com we will work out the scheduling for that delicious cup of coffee and stimulating conversation.
